Jerry Voorhis

[anamnua]

Nixon came up against Voorhis in a congressional election in California in 1946. Voorhis was the incumbent. Nixon, a man of overweening ambition, realised that he just had to be got out of the way by hook or by crook. He decided to smear him as a communist – the most reviled political species in America at that time. It worked. And this, by all accounts, very able representative was lost to pubic life.
In his later post-Watergate reflective phase Nixon was to remark:

Of course I knew Jerry Voorhis wasn’t a communist but I had to win the election.

Similarly, will Obama be saying, in his twilight years, with respect to the 2008 primary cycle:

Of course I knew Hillary Clinton wasn’t a racist but I had to win the election.

4. So Tucker Carlson is the source? (I'm pretty sure Jerry Voorhis is dead but I'll...

... double check that and retract it if I'm wrong. He'd have to be close to 100 years old)

In any case, the link says the source is Carlson.
